Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi has said he has moved on from past controversies and is no longer affected by them.
Nyantakyi, who also served as the first Vice President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), resigned in June 2018 after the release of the investigative documentary Number 12, by investigative journalist Anas Aremayaw Anas, which exposed corruption in Ghanaian football.
Speaking to Joy News on Tuesday, January 6, Nyantakyi stated: “I am not hurt by anything like that. Life goes on. There are many opportunities in life for every individual.”
The documentary captured Nyantakyi accepting $65,000 from an undercover reporter and claiming he could use political connections to benefit business interests. The revelations sparked public outrage and led to his resignation from the GFA, CAF, and FIFA.
In October 2018, FIFA handed Nyantakyi a lifetime ban, which was later reduced to a 15-year suspension.
